Trump halts Canada trade talks over ‘fraudulent’ ad
The Independent
|October 25, 2025
Donald Trump has announced trade talks with Canada will cease, claiming the country “fraudulently” used an ad featuring Ronald Reagan speaking negatively about tariffs.
"The Ronald Reagan Foundation has just announced that Canada has fraudulently used an advertisement, which is FAKE featuring Ronald Reagan speaking negatively about Tariffs," the US president wrote on Truth Social on Thursday night.
He continued: "TARIFFS ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO THE NATIONAL SECURITY, AND ECONOMY, OF THE U.S.A. Based on their egregious behavior, ALL TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH CANADA ARE HEREBY TERMINATED."
Mr Trump's post came shortly after the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation & Institute released a statement, saying the government of Ontario created an ad campaign "using selective audio and video" of Reagan that "misrepresents" a 1987 radio address from the former president.
The foundation added that the government of Ontario did not get permission to use or edit the remarks, and that it is "reviewing its legal options".

Though, more than most, Pep Guardiola can testify to Real’s winning habit when the stakes are highest.

How can I kill time between my flights in Guangzhou?
Q I have eight hours at Guangzhou airport in China between flights on a journey from Melbourne to London. I looked for some kind of lounge or hotel in the terminal where I could rest, but the price appeared to be around £100, which is a quarter of what I paid for the entire flight. Any suggestions?
